DS came out as gay yesterday to me and DH. Says he's known he was gay for a while now. I just told him we love him no matter what and off he went upstairs to play. He said he was glad we know.
So what now? I want to support him fully. He's always struggled with his body image/identity (keeps his hair long etc) and is coming up to puberty so want to make sure he's supported and feels secure.
He's supposed to be going to a Catholic high school (though we aren't Catholic. It's just a really good school). Should I reconsider this?
I just need some advice on where to go from here. What to say/what not to say. Should I tell him to keep it a secret as he's still at primary?

I've two nieces in different Catholic high schools come out. Not an issue at all.
